His method and experience enable him to provide clinics for groups having a wide range of experience.

"Randy Hunter performed in concert with my jazz ensemble at Georgia Perimeter College last week. He also did a master class on jazz styles, harmony, improvisation and performance. Both events were an outstanding success. Randy was able to pinpoint and speak to specific needs of my ensemble giving them individual solutions and attention as well as helping them with ensemble performance concepts. We used Randy's publications for performance and source materials. They were so good we will be using his compositions and practice materials in our spring concert. I would highly recommend Mr. Hunter for a master class with your ensemble."
